Whitening products are all around. After all, its difficult to maintain a light complexion in a tropical country. Scars appear darker and are harder to get rid of. Also, consumers are now conscious about the contents of the products namely being aware of the preservative Parabens which is considered to be harmful.
Morrison Elbow & Knee Collagen Whitening Lotion might just be the answer, I thought to myself. Getting good reviews online prompted me to try it out. I don’t rely on other people’s opinions or experience until I use it myself. It’s probably worth a shot.
The package comes in a White easy-squeeze 50ml bottle. The scent of the product is pleasing and I actually enjoyed it.
I applied it liberally in the hopes that I get the result as soon as possible. Like most users, I didn’t get a lighter skin in the first or second application. However, gradual results were noticeable as I finished consuming the bottle. The lotion was applied daily on my knees and elbows. It was a shade lighter and I still use it to maintain the results. By the way, micropeeling is expected.
I felt moisturized the entire day and my skin was softer. Scrubbing the target parts were also done as I got curious in speeding up the process. My skin was noticeably smoother and I loved the smell.
To achieve the desired result, daily application is advised. The 50ml bottle is priced at P249 and it’s worth every penny.
My skin was not at its best when I was in High school thus, I experimented with a lot of homemade products: from trying out Honey masks combining with my all time favorite Apple cider toner which lessens the break out to switching to Dickinson’s Witch Hazel toner. Egg White masks have been a staple in my routine.
Unknown to many, there are numerous benefits of using Egg Whites on the skin. Egg White masks removes facial hair, helps shrink pores by tightening the skin, prevents acne, reduces oily skin, lifts the skin, helps get rid of black heads, reduces under eye puffiness, plus since it lifts and tightens the skin, it is also useful in delaying premature aging brought about by fine lines & wrinkles.
I love the tightening sensation it provides. My skin type is oily so it can be sometimes a hassle especially if I am travelling. Good thing, I won a beauty set of Bellissima Egg White soap last December 21st, 2017 at the Bloggers Philippines Christmas party.
Bellissima Egg White comes in a neat Sky Blue package which is pleasing to the eyes, the box contains all the important details about the soap including Directions, Caution, and Ingredients. To make it even better, the soap itself is White and shaped like an egg! The scent was light. Also, the Egg white soap lathers easily with water.
After two weeks of use on my body, my skin felt softer due to the rich creamy lather of the soap and I have not had any breakouts. My skin is sensitive and I used to have rashes using some soaps but I did not have that kind of reaction with it. The list of ingredients contains Kojic acid dipalmitate which is supposed to lighten the skin. My skin become a bit lighter and became clearer probably due to the removed dead skin cells.
Overall, the product lives up to its promise of softer, whiter, and tighter skin. It felt like having lotion since my skin is moisturized. The result of whitening would probably be gradual, however, the glow on my skin is noticeable.

From salt-powered lamps to the legendary karaoke machine, stories of Filipino ingenuity andcreativity have always inspired us, as well as people all over the world. Now, we take a look at
the latest among our countrymen to be recognized on the international stage for his brilliance.Last September, Elmer Padilla made headlines when his handmade action figures, made of recycled tsinelas, were posted on Facebook. He has since made an appearance on Kapuso Mo,Jessica Soho, and his work was even handed to Thor: Ragnarok actors Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, who praised Elmer’s depictions of their characters.
Elmer has always loved action figures, though he could never really afford them as a child. He turned to his creativity at a young age so that he could make his own. “Nine years old po ako
noong magstart ako sa paggawa. Hindi pa po character ang mga ginagawa ko noon. Bangka-bangka lang po gamit ang mga tsinelas na sira hanggang sa nakakabuo na ako ng mga robot sa sarili kong imahinasyon. Hanggang sa nahilig ako sa mga action figures sa movie.
Sinubukan ko na po gumaya ng mga action figures. (I was nine years old when I started making these. At the time, I didn’t make characters. I just made boats out of broken flip-flops until I was
able to make robots of my own imagination. Then, I began taking an interest in action figures from movies. At that point, I tried imitating action figures.),” he said. Originally hailing from Samar, Elmer, his wife, and two daughters recently moved to Imus, Cavite to try and fulfill his dream of making and selling action figures. It was here that he was discovered selling his tsinelas action figures on the streets, and from there, his fame skyrocketed.
Today, Elmer receives guidance from Jerry Santos, a toymaker who makes life-sized statues forhis store, Jerry’s Life-Size Statues and Collectibles. Orders for his work have piled up so much,
he can barely keep up with demand. “Actually, sa isang araw, nakakatanggap kami ng 70 orders. Yung iba hindi na niya nasasagot sa social media dahil nga medyo busy na rin talaga.
Akala nila suplado si Elmer pero talagang marami lang talagang dating ng order. (Actually, in asingle day, we can receive up to 70 orders. He can’t respond to the others on social media because he’s really busy. They think Elmer is being snobbish, but really, there are just so many orders coming in.),” Jerry Santos said.
Elmer’s primary expense in making his action figures has been the purchase of MIGHTY BOND.Sometimes, when he runs out of money, he’d just buy ordinary shoe glue, but this lowers the quality of his work. “Kapag ordinaryong shoe glue lang talaga, madaling matanggal ang dikit kapag natutuyo na. Kapag MIGHTY BOND ang gamit ko, mabilis dumikit at matibay kahit na yung sa mga parte pa ng action figures na mahirap dumikit gaya nung mga wires at plastic. (When I use just ordinary shoe glue, the stickiness easily fades when it dries. When I use MIGHTY BOND, it sticks quickly and it stays sturdy, even with the parts of the action figures that are hard to glue like wires and plastic.),” he said.
Right now, Elmer’s income from his craft remains a little slow, as it’s just him working on fulfilling the orders. Already, though, he’s being courted by international flip-flop brands hoping to become his supplier. And in the coming days, he’s going to personally hand action figures to President Duterte and President Trump, during the ASEAN Summit. In spite of rising fame and fortune, Elmer’s dreams remain squarely grounded at home. He wants to be able to buy a house for his family, and buy whatever they need. With all the hard work he puts in for his family, he truly is as good as the superheroes he depicts.

Earlier this year, Maxicare Healthcare Corporation launched its TeleConsult service, a 24/7 hotline exclusively for Maxicare members and their dependents, that allows them to connect
with Maxicare-accredited doctors any time they need a consultation. What do you get out of using TeleConsult? Let’s take a look at some of its most important advantages.
It saves you time
A chest pain in the night, a stomachache out of nowhere – without the advantage of consultation, these ailments often lead us to take a trip to the nearest emergency room. While it’s definitely a good idea to see a professional whenever something feels off, these trips will eat up your time, especially if you have to take a day off work for them.With TeleConsult, a quick – call is all you need to get in touch with a doctor, explain your symptoms, and hopefully get an answer to your questions about how you feel. Of course, there will be times that your consultation will lead to a recommendation to head over to the
It saves you money
The aforementioned ER trips and consultations aren’t just time sinks – they eat up your benefit limit as well, which could be better used for when you have an actual disease. TeleConsult is a free service that doesn’t consume your benefit limit, leaving it open for more urgent healthcare concerns.
You get peace of mind
There’s an old joke about self-diagnosing with WebMD: Whatever your symptoms are, you always have cancer! Self-diagnosis is never recommended, especially if you have no medical training – and even doctors with years of experience will still seek a second opinion if the patient is themselves! However, it’s still tempting to look up your symptoms online and end up with a
laundry list of potential diseases, fixating on the scariest ones. If you use TeleConsult, however, you’re assured that your symptoms are looked over by a Maxicare affiliated physician, and that you receive a professional diagnosis in turn.
A complement to traditional healthcare channels
There’s no replacement for a face-to- face trip to the doctor, and that isn’t the goal that TeleConsult wants to achieve. Instead, it’s where you go before heading over to a specialist, or where you go if you need immediate advice for a medical condition. Over time, the TeleConsult service aims to evolve into an important part of the healthcare system, with intelligent connections to wearable health technology, health management platforms, data analytics, and more, all in the name of serving up personalized, efficient, and effective healthcare services to every member.Are you ready for your TeleConsultation? Call these numbers whenever you need to talk to a Maxicare physician: [Landline] (02) 5821980 | [Globe] (0917) 8190840 | [Smart] (0998) 8430754 To know more about Maxicare and its products and services, check out www.maxicare.com.ph .
